=Take a look down your assigned column and find a person you would like to report on. There are many interesting people in these lists so don't limit yourself to the most famous or popular ones. When you have selected a person, tell your teacher which you are going to do. Once someone has selected a famous woman, no one else can use that person. Everyone must have a different person!=

= Step #2: Take enough notes on that person so you can write a paragraph or 5-6 bullets in a PowerPoint slide. There is a note sheet you can use. You can write when/where that person was born, interesting information about her early life, what she was famous for, etc. THIS STEP IS WORTH 15 POINTS = = = = Step #3: Open PowerPoint and find a theme (no black or dark backgrounds permitted) = = The title for the slide will be your person's name.
